| Summary: | This new program consists of several interesting segments on the development of new fuel alternatives from around the world. UK Biofuel: In England, we look at a company that, as well as having developed a process that can turn thousands of tonnes of vegetable oil into road-going fuel, offers a complete production package. It's a complete refinery that can fit on the back of a large truck and it can produce up to 8000 tonnes of bio diesel a year completely automatically. Turkey Power: A town in Texas has found a seasonal method to cut carbon emissions from cars by turning gallons of used turkey oil into bio-diesel fuel. Eco Bus:This segment looks at the efforts of a group of people to drive a bus from San Francisco to Mexico using only left over cooking oil obtained from fast food outlets. Spanish Biofuels: In Barcelona, restaurants and food manufacturers have joined a scheme to supply a recycling plant 'Biodiesel Peninsular' with their used cooking oil. Canadian Biofuel: In Canada one man has come up with a replacement for fossil fuels by developing a bio-oil plant which converts tons of wood chips into environmentally-friendly bio-oil. Alternative Fuels: At a busy fuel depot near San Diego, California, American consumers can choose from no less than EIGHT different fuels for their vehicles. They can use fuels like propane, natural gas, ethanol, or BioWillie.
